#filterlysspoetry: "beds don't give a shit."
you spent close to
three hundred and sixty five days
helping me forget
how bad i am
at sleeping alone.
divide that by two
and that's approximately
how many nights
i've been forced to remember.
six months ago
you were my safe haven
and now you're a stranger
i used to share a bed with.
now i can't even share a bed
with myself
because this bed of mine
doesn't seem to want me
without you.
or maybe that's just me.
maybe beds don't give a shit.
maybe a bed is just a bed.
all i know is,
i want you in mine.
